What does a brake wheel cylinder do?

The brake wheel cylinder is a key component in drum brake systems. When you press the brake pedal, hydraulic pressure forces the pistons inside the wheel cylinder outward, which in turn pushes the brake shoes against the inside of the brake drum, slowing your vehicle.

What vehicles does this DFC wheel cylinder fit?

This DFC rear brake wheel cylinder is specifically listed for the 1984-1987 Buick Century. It also fits the 1984-1987 Chevrolet Celebrity, 1984-1986 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera, 1987 Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser, and 1984-1987 Pontiac 6000.

What should I do before installing a new wheel cylinder?

Before installing, it's recommended to inspect the brake drums and shoes for wear or damage. Always refer to the manufacturer's service manual for the correct installation procedure, including proper bleeding of the brake system afterward to remove air.

Product Details

When you're working on the rear brakes of your 1984-1987 Buick Century, you'll find this DFC brake wheel cylinder. This part is crucial for your drum brake system because it's what pushes the brake shoes outward against the drum when you press the brake pedal. If your old wheel cylinder is leaking fluid or the pistons are sticking, replacing it is a key step to getting your brakes working right again.

This wheel cylinder is built to match the original specifications for your Century, ensuring it fits right and functions as expected. It's a well-built component designed to handle the hydraulic pressure needed to apply your rear brakes effectively. Replacing a wheel cylinder is often done when you're servicing the entire rear brake assembly, like when you're replacing brake shoes or drums.

This part is specifically designed for the Buick Century from 1984 to 1987, and also fits several other GM models from the same era. Make sure to check the fitment details to confirm it's the right part for your vehicle. When installing, always refer to the manufacturer's service manual for proper procedures and torque specifications.
